      T-Herbert "TJ" Jeffrey

      HS Math Teacher
      T-Herbert (TJ) Jeffrey holds a B.A. in Philosophy from Washington University in St. Louis, where he won multiple scholarships, led the Black Students Union, the Education Project, and the campus philosophy journal. Through arguably the nation's most prestigious undergraduate fellowship (Mellon Mays), TJ conducted research on suspicion of young Black men. Having himself overcome the transition from traditional K-12 (Normandy District) to prestigious college, TJ volunteered through WashU to advise over 400 high school students at Vashon (SLPS) on post-secondary opportunities and financial aid.

      • Header logo for Kairos Academies, a network of charter public schools in St. Louis.

        personalized learning public schools

        where students direct their own lives & learning

      • kairos (Anc. Greek): "the spirit of opportunity"

        At Kairos, we believe now is the opportune moment to rethink public education. That's why we replace lectures with engaging projects and dictatorial "behavior managers" with 1-1 executive functioning coaches who help students learn how to manage their own schedule and work habits. Kairos students practice navigating real-world choices (such as when, where, how, and with whom to work) within a safe, supportive school environment. Kairos develops students not just into freethinkers, ready to thrive in a modern economy, but self-governing citizens, ready to lead both themselves and their communities.
